Yarrr, it be Talk Like a Pirate Day again!
That means it be as good a day as any and better than many to get together for some morning grog 'n' such. Picky will likely be grog-gy and need sustenance; ye may or may not.
Be ye raiding many caches this week? Sailing any fine ships to near or distant lands? Battening ye hatches against less-fair weather? Tell yer mateys all about it. Ye can bring trackables to share if ye like.
Dressing like a pirate be optional. If ye'd like to amuse people, ye can recite the Plankin' Pirates' Poem from memory. Reciting while plankin' - the original use - is up to ye. Doing so while repeating the poem as a tongue twister would be most impressive, though this might not be yer best venue ;)
Kids, SOs, friends, family, visitors, travelers, new cachers, and caching-curious muggle buddies are all welcome. Don't know us yet? Ye will soon enough.
Tea, coffee, and light food are available right here but no purchase required. $ icon just be there as a reminder that there be an option. Ye be welcome to attend whether or not ye buy anything. Please don't BYO since we we're in an establishment that sells these things.
Some of ye may be heading up north today to the Land of Mary to kick off a Tour de Geo. Some may not. Given that target be about an hour and a half from here and starts when the sun be about at its zenith, this event be just early enough for ye to make it up there if ye be going and hopefully late enough that we be missing the grog rush and be getting tables here to sit around.
Location:
Old Town Coffee
Herndon (just west of Fairfax County Parkway & just north of the Toll Road)
It be a shared space with Moo Thru ice cream, which unfortunately doesn't open until noon, so come in through the coffee-shop entrance.
Park in front or on the side. There be a ramp on the side of the building.
As usual, please don't attend if ye have or have recently been exposed to COVID or the flu, etc., or if ye be feeling sick in general. We'd rather see ye when ye be feeling well.
Piratey Arrrrefs:
The Plankin' Pirates' Poem:
I can walk like a pirate
I can talk like a pirate
I can plank like a pirate
But I don't want to walk the plank
Attributes?
Where there be pirates, there be danger ;)
